Changing Data Sources(OneDrive Excel and XML) and data credentials not reflecting

Hello,

 

I have some existing PowerBi models/reports running in the service and accessing XML and excel files on Onedrive through a personal gateway.

 

I have developed a new model/report using the same files on my laptop.   If I change the data sources of these files to match the other models/reports and publish, the service is saying I need the data credentials updates, HOWEVER, it is howing the paths for the local laptop, not what I updated the data source settings to before publishing.

 

Any ideas?

 

Dwight

@DHawes,

I am not able to reproduce your issue. After I change data source in PBIX file and publish PBIX file to replace existing dataset, the file paths in Power BI Service also change.

Which file path do you change to?

Regards,
Lydia
